PhD studentship for entry into the Politics PhD programme

How to apply

1. 1. Contact supervisors

   You can find further information on a Politics PhD at Liverpool and our department staff expertise. It is expected that you have contacted your potential supervisors when you make the application.

2. 2. Prepare your application documents

   The studentship is open to any UK PhD candidate who has not yet started their PhD degree. Please submit a 2-page CV and your Expression of Interest as a single Word or PDF document of no more than 2000 words. Please include into this Expression of Interest:

   1. Your research proposal
   2. The names of 2 selected supervisors and why their expertise fits your project
   3. Since this is a fees-only award, please also give details of any other sources of financial support you are expecting to receive, including studentships, scholarships, prizes or other financial support which you hold or for which you have applied.

   Applications will be assessed by a Politics board against their academic merit and the supervisory fit to the project. Since we expect a high volume of applications, we regret that we cannot provide feedback to unsuccessful candidates. Please send the above detailed application documents for the funding to hlcscholarships@liverpool.ac.uk. You should submit an online application for Politics PhD at the same time.

3. 3. Apply

   Finally, register and apply online. You'll receive an email acknowledgment once you've submitted your application. We'll be in touch with further details about what happens next.
